Data transmission between a chassis and a seat movably arranged on the chassis

Abstract

A system for transmitting data and/or energy between a chassis and a seat that is movably arranged on the chassis, the seat being able to glide with the aid of slides in guide rails attached to the chassis; one iron-core half of a transformer, the iron-core half bearing at least one primary winding is positioned on the slide gliding in the guide rail, the primary winding being a cable in the guide rail; and the other iron-core half of the transformer, having a secondary winding, is positioned on the seat, the two limbs of the other iron-core half being arranged in the longitudinal direction with respect to the guide rail, and both iron-core halves of the transformer being positioned relative to each other for the data and/or energy transmission.

1. A system for transmitting at least one of data and energy between a chassis and a seat, the seat being situated in a movable manner on the chassis with the aid of at least one slide which glides in a guide rail attached to the chassis, the system comprising:
 a transformer including a first iron-core half and a second iron-core half, the first iron-core half having at least one primary winding, the first iron-core half being situated on the slide, the primary winding including a cable lying in the guide rail, the second iron-core half having at least one secondary winding, the second iron-core half being situated on the seat, the second iron-core half including two limbs situated in a longitudinal direction with respect to the guide rail, the first and second iron-core halves being situated relative to each other for the at least one of the data and energy transmission. 
 
   
   
     2. The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the first iron-core half is curved in such a way that it has an opening in a direction of the cable lying in the guide rail, through which the cable is guided. 
   
   
     3. The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the cable is tensioned in the guide rail by a clamping device. 
   
   
     4. The system according to  claim 1 , wherein a cleaning device which removes foreign bodies adhering to the cable during a movement of the slide in the guide rail is situated on the slide. 
   
   
     5. The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the cable has at least two conductors, a first of the conductors being provided for the energy transmission and a second of the conductors being provided for the data transmission. 
   
   
     6. The system according to  claim 1 , wherein, on a seat side, the transformer has a secondary winding for the data transmission and a further secondary winding for the energy transmission. 
   
   
     7. The system according to  claim 1 , further comprising a further transformer situated between the slide and the seat, one of the transformers being adapted for data transmission and the other of the transformers being adapted for energy transmission.
